Remembering the Sacred

"It is love, of course, that guides the reorganization and it's unfolding. But it is love, too, that is the substance of the ashes, and also the tears, the tears of grief and and the tears of love. If the tears could speak, they may tell us that there is no medicine in a wound that is already healed, but only in one that is weeping." - Matt Licata, PhD

It’s an act of kindness - for ourselves, for others, for nature, and for the world - to take some time each day to slow down, breathe deeply, feel our feet on the ground, and attune to what’s unfolding in our immediate, embodied experience.

Otherwise, that which is unlived within us - unfelt feelings, grief, sadness, rage, even forgotten joy - is unable to be metabolized and mined for the soul-nutrients it contains.

When our experience remains unprocessed and undigested, we may find ourselves uninspired, flat, unexpectedly tired, or even depressed, unable to fully be here, to help ourselves and others, and to participate in the bounty of the sacred world.

During the webinar, I’ll speak about:

Slowing down and the practice of embodied attunement

The dynamic, fiery nature of compassion and lovingkindness

Turning into the body (and nature) in times of overwhelm, stress, and activation

The alchemy of everyday life and the endless polishing of the heart
